Title A name given to the resource Carousel Opens on the Mall Description An account of the resource On April 12, 1967, a classic wood <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/296">merry-go-round</a> with 33 animals and 2 chariots moved to the National Mall near the <a href="http://mallhistory.org/items/show/56">Smithsonian Arts and Industries Building</a>. Rides cost 25 cents apiece. In 1981 museum officials replaced the worn-out merry-go-round with the present, larger carousel, a 1947 vintage model with 60 horses. Music for the first merry-go-round came from a Wurlitzer band organ with wooden pipes and bellows. Today the carousel’s music wafts from a CD player.
